Ahhh, I missed it says Canon Floss the first time it was posted. Now the red looks very "Canon like" to me. Good stuff.

Hmmm, think I will try harder and watch some PP videos. I settle very easily as long as it smashes the JPG. Probably because some say street photography is best SOOC. Cheers for the encouragement.

Challenge accepted, thanks. I am confused but will stick with it until I get it. (Edit: got it. And its a very good exercise as I look for the obvious too much). :-) I didn't want to copy Daniel ...

For your use the XA5. Better lowlight (I assume) and you can use Lightroom without any issues. I know I am compromising quality by not treating raw files before putting them in Lightroom. That's a ...

Amuzing photo. I am in a funny mood, so better not say why. :-D

I think this is funny. :-D I am not usually a fan of people's heads in things or covered by things but this one tickles me and my dark sense of humour. Ant's comment adds to the sick thoughts in my ...

Excellent: well captured expressions and the legs are a nice bonus ;-)

Holy s h it! This is great. Astonishingly good, can't believe I always ignore these lotto sellers. Love the timing, framing, distortion... :-)

Does this kind of editing make you or anyone else consider doing similar and sticking to a hardcore style? I have been following someone who does variations of the same thing everytime and he gets ...

Probably 3-5 minutes per photo =4×30= 120 minutes. But its strictly a hobby, if I was doing landscapes or selling photos I would learn how to do it properly (less cheating with filters/presets).

She must be running 30mph for blur at that shutter speed :-P joking aside, very nice shot. Good to see some fun in a shadowy shot.

That's what matters most. :-)

Can we please have a civil thread and avoid negative opinions about Ken? He has made a very helpful ebook which can be viewed at ...

Correct. That's why I liked John Free's personal rule about having 3 things in the frame. Has made me slow down a bit and take more care, but not making it a firm rule.

Mine was under 200 and works great. No box, no hood, no front cap, which was fine. But it was a lucky find. OP 100% get the 16-50mm which is similarly good and a bit more fun with the extra width. ...

I can relate to the sleeping guy too (is that what solidarize means? cool word). Nice shot and like the soundtrack addition :-)

God I loved that lens, heart breaking that when I moved on I got something silly like $90 for it. The Sigma 30mm f1.4 is on the same level of sharpness and great value. ;) Honestly the cheap used ...

That's why I want to force 50mm on myself as cropping 3 quarters or so of all photos with a 35mm feels too much. I always sloppily leave a lamppost in or something to snip off. Been forcing myself ...

Well said

Surprised you are not considering the XT3. I haven't seen anyone online have it stop on them due to heat, plus it has higher video specs. Get a chair ready when you first use either as the ...
